I will receive no additional reinforcements, and I have to use what I have at start. Proceeding NW from my position should lead to immediate action, and I am guessing the Germans are dug in with AT guns.

I am planning on moving units SW first below the forest that is directly SW of their position. I am guessing it is a mix of inf, inf guns, AT guns, MG platoons, and tanks, probably Tigers. Scenario information at start helps reinforce this.

I am confident in my T34s ability and will swing around and come in on their right flank. I don't plan on any opposition other than around the Victory locations.

Basically have my ten T34s units swing way left and then come in from the west, while my inf (four squads of SMG platoons, one AT inf, and one 76mm AT gun) will move through the cover of the forest and hopefully draw the majority of attention, and let the tanks swoop in and mop up.

Not sure if the Germans have reinforcements or not. I didn't look at the other side to see what they have at scenario start.

I do have a 76mm AT gun I forgot to mention. I will post it on the small ridge to the west that has a clear shot north and east, covering the victory locations to the east and any approach to the ridge. This will cover the infantry and support the tanks I am guessing. With a hard rg of 12 and a soft of 6, I think that is plenty from the small hill.

JT's Campaign Series combines East Front, West Front, and Rising Sun into one game. They were original Talonsoft games back in the day. This, CWG2, and Age of Empires was all there was to play growing up!!

They're a BLAST to play. A lot of scenarios.

I am having trouble showing a full screenshot, as it can only be 200ks to upload.

How to post a full, zoomed in screen shot, that isn't a huge data file to upload.

I'm one of the least technically savvy guys out there to ask this of, Jeff. Alright, not as bad as AW1Steve (Steve: ), but close. I would use MS Paint and reduce image size to fit. 200kb sucks for resolution, so I'd columnate the heck out of my image / crop it to size.

holy crap that first screen shot brought back memories! have to admit, i never could get used to the 3D sprites...think i used the nato symbol icons...never made it to the pacific module, but may have to fix that now that i've seen this...

it's been a while, but 10 turns doesn't seem like enough time to execute that wide left hook, especially if he's dug in to any extent...but, we shall see......go get em!

Youre correct on the 10 turns.

I have since moved the tanks on the inf route and the inf through the forest basically. I think I screwed up from the get go going so far west on turn one. Probably going to do a mad rush with tanks... we shall see.

Sorry for the OT Jeffk. What type of Scen's does this game have? I have been looking for a new AI or something small to get into with PBEM. This games looks pretty good. I have been wanting a good cold war game. Good luck will follow to see how the game looks a feels.

Thanks for the post. I will try to answer..though I am not sure what you mean. This game has many scenarios. It is a combination of a three games, plus their add ons. East Front, West Front, and Rising Sun. I am sure you could guess which nations are involved in which game...

It has scenarios with all types of units involved. Scenarios range for five turn tutorials with mainly battalion sized engagements to corps sized engagements that have hundreds of units and last fifty turns or so.

I personally think this is one of the better games on the market for the tactical level of play involved. Its incredible. Especially really getting into it and using armor facing effects for firing, opportunity fire (firing while the other side is moving if you have enough points to fire), line of sight, assaults, artillery fire, and soft/hard range factors.

It is very straight forward, easy to pick up, and you won't play each scenario the same way. You can play both sides in all scenarios I think, but not campaigns..one is historical, the other isn't. UGOWEGO system. Point and click. Nothing else is used. Some scenario info on the menu bar during the game, and numerous map display options, and a mini jump map.

Very, very fun game that requires very little reading to pick up on.

I have spent numerous hours playing this game, and rediscovered it when I found out about Matrix a handful of years ago. WF and EF stopped worked on my computer as I would upgrade computers...

For everyone here that doesn't have this, it is the best $30 you will spend if you want instant fun and good return for your money.

Also, from what I understand and have read, there is a big mod community for this game. I have seen scenarios all the way up to modern battles.

Marc doesn't have internet at home. Only at his office. So, there is usually a day's delay...unless I do a turn at the office, which I am going to start doing. Our fall is pretty much booked, now all we need to do is sit back and haul everything and make sure we get paid and pay everyone. A lot of thumb twiddling. Our youngest son was dedicated to the church this weekend, so daddy had zero time for himself. Should crank them out this week.

Marc mentioned in the email that he saw some of my boys in the trees. By boys, I am guessing he means tanks, as my infantry is still loaded up...I think....

I am basically going to make a mad dash for the victory locations with time slipping away. Visibility is good. I am going to use "Save APs for Firing" when moving my tanks. I really love using opp fire to catch units while they move. Especially his tanks... I have no idea how many he has, but I want to be able to fire first... especially if he has Tigers...
